BB

there are two of those on this team. and given your penchant for sarcasm, it was pretty difficult to tell who you were talking about

I like this line-up

I’d like it a little better if Salty was starting, though… not because I think Laird is worthless (I don’t, for the record) but with all the other youngsters in the lineup, it would just feel right.

by WhipSmart on Apr 30, 2008 6:34 PM CDT reply actions  

Salty should be starting...

seeing as Laird is right-handed facing a righty tonight, and Salty switch-hits.

I’m assuming Millwood wanted Laird.

by cmkelly29 on Apr 30, 2008 6:44 PM CDT up reply actions  

Doubt it...

I think it’s just Wash spliting time between the 2 right now.

Rangers haven't faced a

lefty starter since Salty joined the team and aren’t scheduled to until this Sunday in Oakland.

Lineup for those too lazy to find it:

Kinsler 2B
Young SS
Hamilton DH
Bradley RF
Murphy CF
Shelton 1B
Boggs LF
Laird C
Duran 3B

by WhipSmart on Apr 30, 2008 7:16 PM CDT reply actions  

there was a study a few months ago

that ran every single MLB game for the last 100+ years 10,000 times and found that it was more or less amazing that no one has come close to Joltin’ Joe…

Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.

by WhipSmart on Apr 30, 2008 7:19 PM CDT up reply actions  

yep

but it said that almost all of those longer hit streaks would have been between 1890’s thru 1930’s.

by Randy Richardson on Apr 30, 2008 7:20 PM CDT up reply actions  

realistically, though

I’m with you… I think that’s a record that will remain for a very long time..

Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.

by WhipSmart on Apr 30, 2008 7:22 PM CDT up reply actions  

I question those results

To my understanding, that study just took the stats for each player and determined the percentage of the time that a given player would get a hit in any particular game. I don’t believe that there was any consideration of multi-hit games, and I know there was no factoring of game score, situation, etc. Basically, those 80+ game hitting streaks that were simulated would have resulted in some astronomical batting averages. To my recollection, anyway.

They were just trying to install the TAKS, so they did a test run with us.

Unfortunatly they told us that this test would in no way count towards anything on your academic record, that it was going to be thrown out after the testing period.

Every answer was B, and I think I set the record for completion at about 5 and a half mins.

September

He has to be added to the 40 man this next winter so I think he would get brought up. I think at the end of August whichever veterans we have that are blocking youngsters and are expendable will get their release in time to sign with a playoff team if they so choose and it opens up spots on the 40 man so guys like JMJ, Hurley (if hes not already here) and Teagarden can be added and brought up in September.

by EssBee on Apr 30, 2008 7:59 PM CDT up reply actions  

If Bone wins the AL MVP, then I'll eat a shit sandwich.

I’m not too worried about that with the talent in the AL. However, if Volquez wins the Cy Young, he’d probably have about 20 wins. If he’s that talented, I think that it’s like taking 6 steps forward by getting Hambone and 6 steps back by not having Volquez winning those 20 games for the Rangers. If Hambone is a 280/30/110 or better player and Volquez has a 4.80ish era or higher and goes 10-10, that’s probably a plus for Texas.

I can’t believe you guys are ready to grade this trade an A+ already.

I’m just questioning your theory on what makes an A+ trade.

BTW—I believe there’s a much better chance of Hamilton winning the MVP than Volquez winning the CY.

by robert_d_wilfong on Apr 30, 2008 8:12 PM CDT up reply actions  

I agree with you on those prospects.

I really don’t care what you think about what constitutes an A+ trade or how I think it should be. How can you say it is an A+ trade in April of the first year? That’s the big mystery to me.

Did anyone else think that was a popup off the bat?

How did he hit that out? Ridiculousness. The KC announcers (the one’s I’m getting on Extra Innings) seemed to think it was a popup and then were like, “Wait, the wind is blowing this one out!”

Me, I think Hambone is just that freaking strong.

From MGH

The 6’3”, 170 lb. Gomez, who turned 20 two weeks ago, was one of those guys who came on to my radar unexpectedly in Surprise last month. Anyone who sees the kid pitch, immediately falls for him.

He features a low-90’s fastball with outstanding late life and a plus breaking ball that he locates well. He appeared in 17 games for the AZL club last summer, allowing just 34 hits and 10 walks in 34.1 innings, racking up 38 K’s along the way.

Like Derek Holland, Gomez belongs in the conversation when discussing the more heralded top young arms in this system like Castillo, Feliz, Font, Main, Beavan, Ramirez….

Yep

We live downtown. It’s where we buy our tickets for games that aren’t already part of our mini plan. Seems like it’s the sales guys – the guy who sold us the mini plan has his office there.

Shelton/Salty

What do you think the organizations plan is for Shelton? I’m a bit irritated that he’s played 1B two nights in a row. I would think they would want to see more of Salty. If he’s not C then he needs to be 1B on his days off, he’s a young guy who’s bat we need to get acclimated to the Bigs. I should have prefaced this with the fact I am still bitter that Botts isn’t getting the playing time instead of a guy like Shelton who is practically the same age.

by Waxahachie on Apr 30, 2008 9:05 PM CDT up reply actions  

Salty

Salty is a catcher. He is not a 1B and won’t play 1B this year. Whether or not he should be playing more behind home plate is another question which is very valid and most people will agree he should be everyday. But he is not a 1B. From what Wash has said Shelton will play the majority of the time at 1B and Broussard is relegated to a bench role. Salty should be playing as much as possible and DHing whenever he is not behind the plate. However Bradley and the desire to keep Hamilton fresh probably keeps that from happening right now. Once Bradley is fully healthy there should be alot more DH openings and if Laird is still here Salty can DH more

Ballpark rankings on cnn.com

On cnn.com they have ranked all the major league ballparks based on “fan” responses. I was amazed to see that TBIA was ranked 27! I happen to think TBIA should be at the exact opposite spectrum of that ranking list, maybe somewhere in the top 10. Any thoughts!?
